This short article is a stern warning to anyone who even dreams about training for or running marathons. They are one of the fastest ways to kill yourself, or harm your health permanently. Please strictly avoid long-distance running at all costs, and please listen.

I know that marathon running is popular. However, the bodies today are not strong enough for this type of exercise, and it depletes nutrients far too fast to replace them adequately with food and even vitamin supplements. The longer you train and run, the worse off you will be.

If you are smart, stop at once. There is no need for intense exercise of any kind, and while it gives one a high, it is a false feeling of well-being and it is addictive. For more on the addictive nature of vigorous exercise, please read Exercising Healthfully on this site.

MARATHONS AND VEGETARIAN, SEMI-VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN DIETSThe worst possible combination for your health is to combine your running with a vegetarian, semi-vegetarian or semi-vegan diet. This is horrendous. The running depletes nutrients, and the diet does not provide anywhere near enough nutrients to replace those lost due to all the exercise. For much more information about the problems with vegetarian diets read Vegetarian DietsandThe China Study-Book Reviewon this site.MARATHONS AND RAW FOOD DIETSThis is also horrible, and can be worse than vegetarian and semi-vegetarian diets. Please do not eat raw food diets ever, and never combine them with a lot of exercise. For more on raw foods, and why avoid them, readRaw Foodson this website.I will probably expand this article in the future, but am placing it on the website in its present form due to emergencies that are occurring with those who run marathons and do long-distance running.

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. Altering any aspect of a nutritional balancing program may ruin it rather completely. This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, set up by Dr. Larry Wilson, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation. In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, can conflict with the entire program and it can reduce its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way.​Warning.We make as much information as possible available at no cost in order to spread Nutritional Balancing. Unfortunately, this causes many doctors and others to start their own version of the "Nutritional Balancing Program". Please note that only those listed on Dr. Larry Wilson's web page are approved practitioners of the original Nutritional Balancing Program.

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing programoften ruins it rather completely. This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such asGAPSOR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson. In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
